NavigationViewItem is not vertically aligned and moves unnecessarily

[torum]

NavigationViewItem's content is not vertically aligned and moves to further right as Pane opens. I attached simple sample project.

OS: Windows 11.
FluentAvalonia Version 2.3.0

Avalonia Version 11.3.2

Additional context
Templary fix seems to be to override following values.

	<Thickness x:Key="NavigationViewItemContentPresenterMargin">0</Thickness>
	<Thickness x:Key="NavigationViewPaneContentGridMargin">0,4,0,3</Thickness> 

And in the NavigationViewItemStyles.axaml, change ControlTheme's Padding to "-2,0,2,0".
I have no idea if this workaround causes unwanted side effects. But so far, it is working for me.

PS. I'm very very new to Avalonia UI. So I may be missing something. Plus, English is not my first language, so... my English may sound weird.
Thank you for your great work!

I just realized that I wasn't using ui:NavigationViewItem.IconSource. So, I tried it, but, still I encountered a few minor problems including not vertically aligned item.

So, here is the updated fix/work around.

1. Override with following.

	<Thickness x:Key="NavigationViewItemContentPresenterMargin">-4,0,0,0</Thickness>
	<Thickness x:Key="NavigationViewPaneContentGridMargin">0,4,0,3</Thickness>

2. In, NavigationViewItemStyles.axaml file, add padding "4,0,0,0"

<ControlTheme x:Key="{x:Type ui:NavigationViewItem}" TargetType="ui:NavigationViewItem">
...
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="4,0,0,0"/>

BTW, I'm not considering any case other than left mode here. But it is working for me.

On the related issue, navigationview's toggle button size is strange when mouse over it for the first time. I remember the similar issue with WinUI3 a long time ago.

Adding
<Button Name="TogglePaneButton"
...
Width="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}, Path=TemplateSettings.PaneToggleButtonWidth}"
in the NavigationViewStyles.axaml fixed it.

And one more thing. I get strange residual line after the selection indicator was erased from NavigationViewItem.

I tried many things including adding -1 margin to the left and failed. But, adding transparent border worked like a charm.

<Border Name="SelectionIndicator"
...
 BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="Transparent"

in NavigationViewItemPresenterStyles.axaml

To compensate the invisible border width, override with

<x:Double x:Key="NavigationViewSelectionIndicatorWidth">4</x:Double>
<x:Double x:Key="NavigationViewSelectionIndicatorHeight">18</x:Double>
